Our imaging capabilities extend across a broad range of applications in various fields. We utilize the North Star Imaging (NSI) X50 and Hitachi TM3000 Tabletop SEM systems to deliver high-quality imaging analysis. Our offerings include:
X-ray & CT (Computed Tomography)
Integrated Analysis
Correlated with plastic histology, our CT provides a detailed examination of both histological and structural details at the micron level, offering a holistic analysis of any specimen.
Targeted Contrast
We are capable of producing contrast-enhanced images using iohexol, with additional contrast agents available upon request.
Advanced Segmentation
Using open-source 3D Slicer software, our imaging technicians can generate detailed 3D models and calculate volumetric data to characterize various densities within constructs, including but not limited to porosity, degradation, lumen patency, and pseudointima formation.
SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)
Ultra-High Resolution
Our SEM captures exceptionally detailed images of surface topography up to 30,000x magnification, essential for analyzing surface textures and microstructures.
Elemental Analysis
With EDS (Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy), our SEM provides accurate elemental composition analysis, crucial for verifying material composition and identifying degradation artifacts.
